Manchester United is slowly losing the glory it was enjoying in the nineties and early 90’s especially in the leadership of Alex Ferguson but that glitter is slowly fading out more so after the exiting of Fergie.
It is the glory of the club that has been pulling the notoriously rich Saudi royal family to want to buy the club but reports suggest that the prince might be mulling over changing the plans.
Saudi Arabian Prince Mohammed Bin Salman has given up on buying Manchester United at least for the moment, reports indicate.
The Saudi royal family wanted to tempt the Glazers into selling the Premier League giants with the promise of restoring the club to the top of the European game.
United was one of the clubs that was high flying under Ferguson and itis the glory that the Saudi Royals want to bring back.
The Prince, whose family are worth in excess of £850bn, was tipped to make a stunning £3.8bn bid for the Old Trafford side.
But the Sun reports Bin Salman has ended his interest in taking over at United for the time being at least.
It is suggested United’s current owners, the Glazer family, want to take a more hands-on role at Old Trafford.
The Glazers, in particular, Avram and Joel, have come under fire in recent times for their poor administration at the club and the stadium which is said to be in a poor state as picture and clips showed the stadium’s roof leaking under a heavy downpour.
But they plan to become more involved from this summer, although executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward’s position is not under threat.
Meanwhile, boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has urged the United fans to cut the club’s owners some slack ahead of the crunch clash with Chelsea.
Solskjaer said: “You can’t say that we haven’t invested enough money. If you look at the money that’s been spent, the owners have invested loads of cash and will continue that.
“I’ve been in meetings and we’ve had discussions about that. But you can’t change the team in one transfer window. It isn’t going to happen overnight.
“But we have the time frame and we have the backing. We are all realistic enough to see where we are and you just don’t go bang and move from 70 points to 90 points.
“ Liverpool didn’t do that and City didn’t do it.
“They got to where they are by stability, consistency and steady investment.”
